Olaf Thon - 267.74 Performance Pts
Born: 01/05/1966 Gelsenkirchen, Germany
Position: Midfielder Height: 1.70m Weight: 68kg
Thon had 3
league triumphs at Bayern (in 1989, 1990 and 1994) sandwiched between 2 spells
at Schalke. He did pick up a trophy in his second spell with Schalke, as they lifted
the 1997 UEFA Cup, and he also helped them secure promotion back to the
Bundesliga in his first full season (1983-84). At international level he won
over 50 caps over a 14-year period but didn't always establish himself as first
choice. Italia 90 would be the highlight, and he featured during Germany's successful
campaign, although he was an unused substitute in the final victory against
Argentina. A 19-year club career resulted in over 400 appearances. He memorably
scored 2 crucial shoot-out penalties - in the 1990 World Cup semi-final against
England, and for Schalke against Inter, to help secure that 1997 UEFA Cup success.
